Loryli is in Origin.

Loryli is a modern, inventive variant of Lorelei, the German place-name Loreley associated with a Rhine cliff and the siren of local legend. The element ley/lei denotes “rock, cliff” (from Rhine Franconian lei), while the first part relates to luren “to watch, lurk, lure”; hence common glosses include “luring rock” or “murmuring rock.” The final -li also echoes a Germanic/Swiss diminutive, which lends a light, lyrical feel to this spelling.

As a given name, forms of Lorelei entered wider use after 19th-century poems by Clemens Brentano and Heinrich Heine, then flourished in English in the 20th century via Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and later the Lorelai of Gilmore Girls. Loryli itself is a rare contemporary American spelling, sometimes read as a blend of Lori (from Laura, “laurel, victory”) with -li. Related variants include Lorelei, Lorelai, Loralie, Lorilee, and Loralei.
